  <dc:title>Letter from Sydney Brenner to Francis Crick</dc:title>
  <dc:subject>Genetic Code</dc:subject>
  <dc:description>Brenner here reported results from his research with mutations of the phages (bacterial viruses) T2 and T4, research designed to match a mutation in the fine structure of a phage gene to changes in a protein whose synthesis the virus triggered when it infected a bacterial cell.  Brenner sought to give experimental support to Crick&apos;s sequence hypothesis:  that the sequence of the bases in DNA specified the order of the amino acids in the polypeptide chain of proteins.</dc:description>
